THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUDGET PARTICIPATION AND JOB-PERFORMANCE - THE ROLES OF BUDGET ADEQUACY AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT

This study explores the linkages between budget participation and job performance. In the proposed theoretical model, budget participation a ffects job performance via two intervening variables: budget adequacy and organizational commitment. Accordingly, budget participation leads to high budget adequacy which, in turn, increases job performance dir ectly and indirectly via organizational commitment. To test the propos ed relationships, a survey questionnaire was administered to managers of a large American corporation. The results of path analysis support the hypothesized relationships.
